Growing Information

sowing info

Sow sunflower seeds into individual pots of peat-free, multi-purpose compost. Sow seeds 1.5cm deep, germination takes 7-10 days at 20-25c. When your plants reach about 30cm tall, harden off and plant them out after all risk of frost has passed. Plants grow quickly, so don’t be tempted to start too early.

growing info

These sunflowers need full sun and staking for support, however you can strengthen sunflower stems by brushing your hand regularly across seedlings before they are planted out to simulate wind. For the tallest plants keep well watered and feed regularly with organic liquid feed.
